Koine and Biblical and Medieval Greek • Re: Passive verb with object in Acts of John 98



Does this fit with the context at all? I’ve never come across this text, which looks pretty weird. Christian mysticism?
Yes, sort of, its a so-called AAA - apocryphal acts of the apostles with "John" as the main character. With much dualism/mysticism going on. The snippet I sought help for is a part of a longer sermon-revelation-riff where "John" tells about a hidden revelation from Christ, including a dance, a song and an episode, where Christ appears to this John on the night of crucifixion, and tells John that there was no suffering! The manichaeans apparently liked it. Not so much liked in Nicene and Chalcedonian circles :-)
